July 25, 2018

You’ve just come back from a RV trip, and your phone or memory card is filled to the brim with your best snapshots. Your travel photos are worth more to you than your Instagram likes. How can you display your travel photos so you’re able to always remember your best trips and all the exciting places you’ve been?

Don’t keep your photos locked away in the cloud or on your hard drive never to see the light of day until your next #TBT a few years from now. Give your photos the attention they deserve by diving into your creative side to show off your favorites around your home. Not only are these great conversation starters, but they’re stylish decoration you won’t find anywhere else. Are your RV travel photos itching to get out from behind the screen? Here are 3 fun ways to display your favorites.

1. Print a Photo Backdrop

While you probably don’t want a full-size image of yourself standing in front of the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park, that doesn’t mean you can’t feature your favorite spots from your trip in your home. By purchasing a custom printed photo backdrop or a vinyl banner, you can bring your favorite places home with you. These photo backdrops are great additions to offices, guestrooms, or even just framed in your hallway. Not only do they make your photos look professional, but they’re a unique way to accent your travels in your home.

2. Create a Photo Book

How many books do you have on your coffee table that you’ve never even tried to read? They’re just there because they look great, right? Well, how about swapping those never-opened coffe table books out for your favorite travel photos? Gone are the days of sophisticated photo editing or publishing software being needed to create a classy book.

Online platforms like Chatbooks or Snapfish will do the hard work for you. As long as you’re able to follow a template, you can create a photo book with all your favorite trip photos. Send them to your friends and family to remember your favorite group trip or keep them on your coffee table as a conversation starter for guests. The best part of creating a photo book is that you can continue to grow your collection over time. Soon you’ll have an entire shelf dedicated to all the places you’ve been.

3. Make a Shadowbox

A shadowbox is a thick frame with space inside to put small objects. This is great for your travel photos because you can combine your favorite photos with your favorite souvenirs. Use a matter background or get creative with maps, postcards, or scrapbook paper. Then, paste your favorite trip images and tokens inside the shadowbox for a unique layering effect.

Include larger souvenirs within the box like ticket stubs, printed photos, or figurines to make the entire frame come to life. You can hand a large, single shadowbox to draw attention to a unique destination or cover your hall in all your trips with several boxes.

There are a lot of unique, fun ways to display your favorite travel photos. The best part of the tips above is that they’re easy and affordable, even if you’re not crafty. Displaying your RV travel photos will help you keep your wanderlust alive. The trip never has to end if you can think about your favorite memories every day.
